Maundy Thursday

Tonight we shared in a lovely time, around 20 of us reflected on the meal that Jesus had with his disciples before the unfolding story of the next few life changing days. We reflect on how this meal was the kairos moment, an important moment, that changed their lives forever. This meal was the start of the sending out into the world and starting to understand their ministry in the light of Jesus. This was the meal that changed everything. I find Easter hard, we know the bigger story, but it is good to stop and remember each part, the joy of Easter Sunday needs to be balanced with the darkness of Thursday and Friday. How would the disciple have reacted or what did they think to what Jesus did on Thursday or the cross on the Friday, it is a question I have asked alot recently. Sleep well tonight, but tomorrow will bring a hard day, don't let the cross be sterile, but let the pain of it enable you to reflect on such perfect love.
